But then more backyard breeders.

No way. My friend and her ex-husband had the funnest divorce ever. They played a drinking game while they were signing their papers.

I don't know, but it looks like the table also doesn't have medians for women in farming, construction, or architectural and engineering managers. Those all seem to be "male dominated" fields, so maybe that has something to do with it...

Hyuck, hyuck. Good one, paw.

I really hate this line of thinking so much. My relatives say the same shit and it pisses me off to no end. Irony of ironies: half of them have been on government assistance at some point in their lives. But of course, that's different—because they're white and "hard working," not like all the brown poors.

I've been wondering about this lately...it seems like young white liberals are much more eager to get behind LGBTQ issues than race, poverty, immigration or feminist issues, and I wonder if it's because there's a perception of LGBTQ rights being more relevant to white middle- to upper-class people... I don't…

This is a good point. Wealthy white women are benefiting from the privilege of being wealthy and white, so they don't have much reason to worry about a pay gap or even reproductive restrictions—because they're wealthy. If they need an abortion or birth control, they can pay for access.

This one cites a buttload of studies that prove that pay discrimination is a real thing: http://social.dol.gov/blog/myth-bust…

Educate yourself:

Please, tell me more about how "women actually earn less because they choose to take the mommy track out" or how "women choose not to work as many hours as their harder working male counterparts."

I'm so excited to make my son my own sociological guinea pig! I bought a book called "It's Perfectly Normal" when he was a year old. It's just sitting on my shelf, collecting dust, but it's an awesome book—it's for kids but it talks about birth control and abortion. It also has illustrations of uncircumcised penises,…

"Being %100 Native American is not relevant."

"They shouldn't be given special treatment just because they are pregnant."

Way to make my point, Repubs.

I learned about the plural-spiritual-marriages thing a couple of years ago at a literary conference, where some Mormon English major was trying to make an argument that Ernest Hemmingway was probably secretly Mormon (at which point I had to ask if the kid had ever actually read one of Hemmingway's books). The paper…

Clearly, this fellow read a report we didn't see in which the police put out an APB on a brown man, likely wearing a turban and sandals, possibly herding some goats.

*crickets*

You don't speak for all of us.

Part of me had this gut reaction as well, because free speech and all that jazz. But at the same time, we have to acknowledge the fact that everyone's beliefs aren't all correct. If he had said "black people are lazy" or "women can't code," I wouldn't expect the company to be very black- or woman-friendly under his…

Aw. I know, inclusiveness, right? For gay marriage opponents—not for gays.
